Oriented Approach

This essay is written based in a concern of ours that the dominant forms of teaching and learning in education today seem to be more in line with what Aristotle called techné and poiesis than with phronesis and praxis. The reason for that appears to be the aim-, skills- and competence-oriented approach in education as well as the quest for scientific “evidence based” practice. Using a reflective practice research approach, the authors take their point of departure in two concrete cases drawn from their lives as associate professors and researchers in teacher education. Some core themes are extracted from the cases and reflected upon critically and philosophically. Among those themes are, i.e., “reflecting freely and personally” vs. “adjusting to given frameworks and meeting required standards”. Other themes are “answering correctly and reaching predefined goals with the least effort” as opposed to “exploring possible answers”, “learning for its own sake” and “searching wisdom” on the other.

In this essay the approach of reflective practice research, as introduced by the philosopher Anders Lindseth, is outlined and its relevance for teacher education is discussed. For that purpose, central theoretical as well as methodological aspects of this research approach are presented and further investigated. By means of illustrative case studies, examples are given on how this approach can be of use for teacher students in order to develop research competence, on the one hand. On the other, this essay examines how a teacher can reflect his or her own practice, in terms of self-studies, in order to learn from experience and to develop towards so-called phronesis (practical wisdom or prudence).

International Textbook of Reflective Practice in Nursing is an edited book with an in-depth discourse about reflective practice from a global perspective. The book addresses using reflective practice for evidence-based clinical practice, curriculum and education, and research. As a result, the content may be useful for practicing nurses, educators, and researchers. After reading the first chapter on the state of the art of reflective practice, you can read the other chapters on a stand-alone basis. Overall, reflective practice is presented as a core process in three areas: (1) knowledge development, (2) improving practice through supervision and leadership, and (3) enhancing teaching and learning. At the end of each chapter are historical and recent references that represent a global viewpoint.

Early Training

Risk assessment has always been an essential part of all medical practice, and doctors have always been trained to make rapid assessment of risk. Much of the early training of doctors in both medicine and surgery centres on risk assessment. However, the method of acquiring that knowledge is predominantly through the apprenticeship model with observation by the trainee of the trainer's decision-making process. Those decisions, however, are often skewed and biased by a whole variety of influences, rather than always being based on scientific evidence. Clearly the increasing influence of evidence-based medicine will help this. At one extreme, however, there are heroic surgeons taking unnecessary risk or taking on cases which might more appropriately have been left without treatment, and at the other extreme, consultants who may feel demoralised or depressed might well become nihilistic about medicine and therefore might not attempt to treat cases that are treatable.

Philosophical Doctrine

Few topics animate, even polarize, philosophers, more than Naturalism, a doctrine which states that philosophy is continuous with, and perhaps even replaceable by, sciences worthy of the name. On one side, fans of technical progress believe that the sciences can indeed replace philosophy with something that allows us to reason and explain better. On the other, advocates of the humanities herald the insights and methods of disciplines seemingly beyond the reach of science. But these disputes are often more about turf than truth. All Talked Out exemplifies the power of science in a philosopher’s hands and takes a welcome look at the resulting fate of philosophy. Based on Trout’s Phi Beta Kappa Romanell Lectures, each chapter presents a novel and positive view of intellectual advances while addressing traditional topics in philosophy, and each chapter explains why these achievements occurred despite the archaic and often retrograde influence of philosophical doctrine and method. While foundational reflection remains as necessary as ever, philosophy, as it is conceived of in the halls of academia, no longer adds anything distinctively useful. At its best, philosophy is a place to grow new ideas. But many other disciplines can and do provide that incubation. In the end, we don’t have to kill philosophy; but we do have to figure out what it’s good for. Following a spirited Introduction, the first lecture takes stock of the growing field of evidence-based approaches to reasoning and, in light of these scientific developments, criticizes important failures in epistemology as it is currently practiced in the English-speaking world. The second lecture examines the psychological impulse to explain, the resulting sense of understanding, and the natural limits on cognitively appreciating the subject we have explained. The final lecture, on social policy, presents the proper reaction to the idea that scientific evidence matters to responsible governance.

Kristina Wimberley: Saved from AIDS? The Manoeuvres of Adolescent Giris in Relation to the Risk of HIV in Southwestern Uganda This articles discusses the representation of adolescent giris in the literature on AIDS and in AIDS interventions. In these contexts an image is created of adolescent giris as passive victims of a static inequality in societies pervaded by patriarchy, and as driven by economic want. On the basis of fieldwork material from Ankole, southwestern Uganda, the articles discusses the meaning of “being saved” for adolescent giris in relation to the risk of HIV. For the giris concemed, “being saved” is characterized by conversion to a new lifestyle in which they are virtuous, honest, kind, and above all: avoid and reject men. However, at some point even saved giris enter into relationships with men. In this situation, the giris may find it advantageous to continue to be “really saved” in certain contexts. From the analysis put forward here it emerges that “being saved” as a form of discourse and action enables giris to create a room for manoeuvre that empowers them to tackle the dangers they face - including HIV/AIDS. This agency emerges in the interplay of, on the one hand the constraining and enabling effects of the various life worlds of giris in Ankole, and on the other hand the way in which gendered identities and relationships are negotiated in everyday life between giris and men, as well as among the giris themselves. It is concluded that the standard analysis of giris’ vulnerability in relation to the risk of HIV/AIDS could benefit from an actor-oriented approach that encompasses the interplay between structure and process. An analysis of this kind may reveal the agency of giris, and not exclusively in relation to economic want. This focus on agency could be a point of departure for more effective HIV/AIDS interventions.

Abstract Objective – This study aimed to identify assessment opportunities and stakeholder connections in an emerging technologies department. Such departments are often overlooked by traditional assessment measures because they do not appear to provide direct support for student learning. Methods – The study consisted of a content analysis of departmental records and of weekly activity journals which were completed by staff in the Emerging Technologies and Services department in a U.S. academic library. The findings were supported by interviews with team members to provide richer data. An evidence based framework was used to identify stakeholder interactions where impactful evidence might be gathered to support decision-making and to communicate value. Results – The study identified a lack of available assessable evidence with some types of interaction, outreach activity, and responsibilities of staff being under-reported in departmental documentation. A modified logic model was developed to further identify assessment opportunities and reporting processes. Conclusion – The authors conclude that an evidence based practice research approach offers an engaging and illuminative framework to identify department alignment to strategic initiatives and learning goals. In order to provide a more complete picture of library impact and value, new and robust methods of assessing library technology departments must be developed and employed.

AbstractWe have all been too quick to make up our minds and too slow to change them. In Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, our opinions are slaves to our prior experience. Ignorant confidence is what defined early Surgery as there was a distinct lack of interest in proving and promoting what was effective. The “God complex” among early Surgeons meant that what they thought was true did not need scientific evidence. It is only in more recent times that Surgical practice has embraced evidence to guard against rumour, bias, misconceptions and misunderstandings. Indeed, just in the last few decades we have witnessed the gradual evolution of Surgery from eminence-based practice, the idea that senior experienced Surgeons held all the knowledge, to evidence-based practice, where fair tests are employed to compare one treatment against the other in order to find what works best. History has taught us that clinical research leads to reforms in the practice of Surgery while basic research leads to revolutions in Medicine.

The main thought and foundation in Islamic civilization is based from the teaching and learning of Quran. There are many secrets and mysteries in Quran and the only way to uncover it is by reading, understanding and researching its content. Among the miracles stated in the Quran, there are 49 times mentioned about mountain in different form of words and sentence structure hence its meaning. Therefore, this study will discuss and uncover the scientific evidence related to the mountain that is mentioned in the Quran. The method of this study is qualitative approach which most of the data are collected from library and literary materials that related to the word ‘mountain’. In Quran, it has mentioned mountain as the pillar of earth which strengthen its ground and enable other being to inhabit it. Meanwhile, from the perspectives of scientific evidences claimed that when two continents collide, stronger plates will slip beneath the other plate and creating a platform that restrict the movement of the continent to avoid shaking. Then, the upper one folds and will form the mountain plate. This depicts that without mountains, the lithospheric plate movements will be eroded drastically. All this information has been mentioned in Quran as the word ‘rawasiya’ and will be discussed along in this paper accordingly Keywords: Mountain, Quran, stabilizer.

Abstract [Continued from the January/February 2004 issue of The Guides Newsletter.] To understand discrepancies in reviewers’ ratings of impairments based on different editions of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), users can usefully study the history of the revisions as successive editions attempted to provide a comprehensive, valid, reliable, unbiased, and evidence-based system. Some shortcomings of earlier editions have been addressed in the AMA Guides, Fifth Edition, but problems remain with each edition, largely because of the limited scientific evidence available. In the context of the history of the different editions of the AMA Guides and their development, the authors discuss and contextualize a number of key terms and principles including the following: definitions of impairment and normal; activities of daily living; maximum medical improvement; impairment percentages; conversion of regional impairments; combining impairments; pain and other subjective complaints; physician judgment; and causation analysis; finally, the authors note that impairment is not synonymous with disability or work interference. The AMA Guides, Fifth Edition, contrasts impairment evaluations and independent medical evaluations (this was not done in previous editions) and discusses impairment evaluations, rules for evaluations, and report standards. Upper extremity and lower extremity impairment evaluations are discussed in terms of clinical assessments and rating processes, analyzing important changes between editions and problematic areas (eg, complex regional pain syndrome).
